Love it or hate it, matcha is definitely here to stay. While it’s the new-go to drink for Gen Z, it’s extremely popular in Japan, and it has been around for centuries. If you like green tea, you’ll probably enjoy matcha too. It has a stronger, earthier flavor with more depth.
Whether you drink it iced, hot in a cozy mug, or blended into your smoothie, matcha fits seamlessly into your daily routine. So if you’re skeptical about trying it out, here are some reasons why you should give it a shot.
It Lowers Cholesterol Levels
Drinking matcha regularly can aid in lowering your cholesterol levels and raise HDL (good) cholesterol thus protecting your heart from the risks of heart diseases and support overall cardiovascular health
It’s a Great Detox Drink
Because matcha is packed with antioxidants, it can help soothe an irritated gut, support digestion and regulate bowel movement especially if you struggle with bloating or occasional constipation.
It Gives You Energy
Like coffee, matcha has a decent amount of caffeine, but thanks to the amino acid L-theanine, it releases more slowly into your system. That means you get a calm, focused energy instead of a caffeine crash that leads to fatigue after a while.
It’s Good for Your Skin
Not only does matcha help soothe your gut, but it can also support healthy, glowing skin. Thanks to its high antioxidant content, it helps fight free radicals that contribute to aging, breakouts and skin dullness.
